School signs play a crucial role in creating a welcoming, informative and safe environment for students, staff, and visitors alike. They serve a number of purposes, and can be broken down into three types: essential, educational and decorative. Safety signage, post or wall entrance signs, directional signs and welcome boards are essential to keep everyone safe and assist movement around the site. These signs will have a formal style featuring school branding, colours and messaging.

The design style for signs within the educational areas will vary depending on the pupil age. Signage for nurseries, infant, junior and primary schools will have more of a fun feel, using bright colours and imagery, informal fonts, and fun shapes to engage and appeal to younger children. Signage for secondary schools, colleges and universities is designed with a bit more of a grown up feel to appeal to teens and young adults. 

Choose life-size silhouette signs of children dancing and playing for halls, sports halls and the playground. Show off your school values, rules and behaviour signs to pupils, staff and to visitors alike with larger versions for areas such as Reception, the hall and waiting areas, and smaller versions for classrooms. Times table stair stickers and book spine stair graphics are a popular choice to brighten up stairwells and allow learning to continue as pupils move around school. Add some WOW to you corridor or library walls with book spine wall graphics, which are always popular with the children and staff alike. Teachers are loving our corridor information display boards as they make the corridor displays look neater, and reduce the staff workload. They can be used to create a professional display of important information for visitors, parents and staff, or to show off the children’s latest work, and can be updated as often as you wish. You can find more information on the types of school signs available below, plus you can see examples of our school signs we have supplied on the School gallery page.
